ikri Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 They don't have money for compensation since when.. where did all the money from Muntari and Defoe go? Also some good managers unattached right now. Paying the rest of the player's wages. Their wage bill was over 90% of their turnover last season, pretty sure that has gone up this season too.

hakka Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm not surprised he has been sacked. He has done poor and every time I hear him speak I think he sounds like an idiot. Harsh I know, but if I think that then I can only guess that he comes across something similar in the dressing room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yet another example of a promotion from within the club not working. Also good to see other clubs have been reading the Shepherd handbook, sacking the manager just after a transfer window is a great idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'll be downright weeping if two weeks down the road, Pompey have appointed Curbishley/Grant and go to Stoke with honeymoon mode on in full force. While in the mean time we're stuck with Joe Kinnear. Don't worry, we've got that guy with the cool foreign name lined up Josep De La Kinnearinho?

Guest Mucky01 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 it was in the cards wasnt it, am i the only one or did he seem like a nut? probably all the alcohol No you're not - he came across as being a bit unhinged, weird post match interviews. Southgate next.... Mostly those interviews were he seemed to be genuinly high, he couldnt concentrate or sit still even. I’m not in anyway a psychiatrist or anything but a few weeks ago I said to a mate of mine (who is a psychiatrist) that there’s something wrong with Tony Adams, he’s got delusion of grandeur or something that’s made him a bit loopy. He laughed and said that’s just what him and other psychiatrists were discussing days previously, they’d noticed a range of psychiatrist symptoms including the strange colour combination of clothes, an obsession with trying to make profound comments and a very unusual body language, etc. He’s since told me that Adams was now the talk of the psychiatrist community and even non football fan psychiatrists were recording MOTD etc to analyse him for a laugh. I asked “in layman’s terms is he nuts then?” – “yeh, definitely”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 It is a bit of a worry as they may get the new manager honeymoon period. If Middlesbrough sack Southgate they could do the same. Stoke having Ricardo Fuller injured for the rest of the season may put them in danger. It's too close to call. I'd be surprised if whoever Portsmouth replace Adams with does a worse job at picking up points than him. As has been said, we shouldn't have to rely on other teams and I hope we don't have to. It doesn't hurt our chances of staying up if other teams are awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Nobody should be given a premiership club as their first job in management, it's madness. And as you say Adams is definitely a 'unique' character... there's always something weird about him when he gives interviews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yep, he stayed behind after training to give Taylor some extra coaching (not in a Glitter way) as he knew he had the potential to go on and become an England regular. Paid off.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
